| 6. What can they charge Phelps with? |
|
Possession of under an ounce and drug paraphanelia is the only two marijuana laws relevant in this case. I don't know where smoking is defined but it isn't his bong. Also in the photo he is possessing probaly half a gram. If they wanted to press charges they would've done so because the photo is the best evidence there is. I don't know if they are trying to find out information that it was his weed, if so how can you charge someone with previous known possession? Usually you gotta have the stuff in your pockets or in your car or something like that to be charged with possession. About the paraphenlia, does he currently have a resinated pipe or bong or some other smoking instrument?
